The pandemic has the potential to reduce gender gap in entrepreneurship by altering structural business dynamics. Women farmers come forward to set up new ventures for sustaining their livelihood, viz., transition of apparel designing to school uniform making, business to manufacturing of safety equipments (masks, gloves, PPE kits), preparation of sanitizers etc. Women entrepreneurs acquired new/modified their skills from the existing, redesigned their process of manufacturing and accelerated the adoption of technology to combat the crisis. Despite the economic and social setbacks women have responded to the crisis rapidly. |
